The AMD 4850e VS 939 Opteron

[Monkeynut]

Okay fellas

Have myself a 939 Opteron at 2.2Ghz. Is the 4850e faster/as quick? And with my Arctic Freezer 64 will I be able to run it almost passively (with the fan only on about 5 volts?)

Should I be waiting for 45nm tech?

Thanks in advance.

im asuming thats one of the dual core opty's
if so start clocking those can reach 2.8 - 3.0 Ghz

if you check the stepping code on the cpu here it will give you a rough idea of what you can get from it.

Temps aren't exactly good... reaches 64c under orthos?

i got that till i changed my cpu cooler to the zalman cnps 9500nt now at 100% load i get approx 58c top's and average 30c idle
i have the 4400+ runs same 2.2 Ghz default but i can only manage to get 2.5Ghz on this board but i belive the opteron 175's clock a lot better.
as long as the temps dont get to 80c you should be ok
